7 Farmers Markets You Can Shop This Week

By

Farmers markets allow consumers to have access to locally grown, farm fresh produce, enables farmers the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with their customers,  and cultivate consumer loyalty with the farmers who grows the produce. Farmers markets have fruits and vegetables at the peak of the growing season. This means produce is at its freshest and tastes the best. Every time you shop at a farmers market, you benefit the local economy. Locally owned farms and businesses typically retain twice as much money in the area they’re produced when compared to large chain grocery stores. When money stays within a community, everyone in that community benefits, creating more opportunity for growth — including jobs.

Farmers Market Xenia

Xenia Farmers’ Market intersection of U.S. 68 South and State Route 380, Xenia, OH

A beloved community tradition is making a comeback to Xenia, thanks to a local downtown business owner. Becky Hawkes, owner of the FLOUR Bake Shop and FLOUR Box Gift Shop, has organized a weekly farmer’s market which will have a soft opening on Saturday, May 13, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Hawkes has coined the market, Xenia Farmer’s Market On the Square, since vendors will be positioned along E. Main Street, N. Detroit Street and Greene Street, surrounding the Greene County Courthouse. The market will run every Saturday from May 13 through September 2, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. “We are very excited to bring a farmer’s market back to Xenia, especially in our historic downtown,” Hawkes said. “Visitors can expect to find goods from local growers, cottage bakers, including a gluten-free baker, and artisan crafters. All of these items will be sold at competitive prices.”
